We address the question of quantifying entanglement in pure graph states. The evaluation of multipartite entanglement measures is extremely difficult for most pure quantum states. In this paper, we demonstrate how solving one problem in graph theory, namely the identification of a maximum independent set, allows us to evaluate three multipartite entanglement measures for pure graph states. We construct the minimal linear decomposition into product states for a large group of pure graph states, allowing us to evaluate the Schmidt measure. Furthermore, we show that the computation of distance-like measures such as relative entropy of entanglement and geometric measure becomes tractable for these states by the explicit construction of the closest separable and closest product states, respectively. We show how these separable states can be described using stabilizer formalism as well as projected entangled pairs-like construction. Finally, we discuss how introducing noise into the system can optimally destroy entanglement.
